Hi
We are trying to install our add-in for all users on a machine. The customer is installing as the administrator. The problem is that the user does not see the add-in when they login. I do not know if it makes a difference, but the admin does not have office installed on their login.
Here is the adxRegistrator.log file:
Add-in Express Registrator Log File: 09/19/2017 14:11:57

Hello Chris,

Sorry?
Please reinstall your add-in. Make sure that {My Documents}\Add-in Express\adxloader.log in the profile of the user who starts the host application gets updated when the user starts the host Office application. If the file is updated, send a copy of it to the support email address or post it here.

Sorry, i meant to say that the outlook when the admin logs in is not setup.
There is no adxloader.log created when the user logs in. |

Hello Chris,
I don't understand what occurs (or doesn't occur) when an administrator logs in. Please confirm that Office (and Outlook) is installed on that machine.
If the add-in gets installed correctly - the log above confirms this - and still, there's no adxloader.log, you need to check section Troubleshooting add-in loading, see the PDF file in the folder {Add-in Express}\Docs on your development PC.

Yes, outlook is installed on the machine, but the admin who is installing the add-in does not have outlook setup, so he can run it.
The problem:
We have an add-in the works and installs fine, if we install it per user. I am having problems getting it to install per machine.
When i install it per machine, it does not try to load for any of the users. (No adLoader log file is being created)
The adxRegistrator (in the first message) appears to complete successfully.
I have read through the articles about the per machine/per user setup, but it appears that i am missing something. Currently when i go from per user to per machine setup, these are the changes i make.
1. In the AddInModule, i change RegisterForAllUsers from False to True
2. In the setup project i change all (3) Custom Actions from /Privileges=user to /Privileges=admin
3. In the setup project Post Build Event I change the /UAC=off to /UAC=on.
?Â?Ð?ì{Add-in Express}\Bin\adxpatch.exe?Â?Ð?í ?Â?Ð?ì$(BuiltOutputPath)?Â?Ð?í /UAC=on /RunActionsAsInvoker=true
Is there something else that i need to do.
Thanks
Chris |

Hello Chris,
It looks like you have the GenerateInstallInfo property of the add-in module set to true; if so, make sure the manifest is writable, set the property to false and rebuild the project.

I assume you also change the default location of the installation folder. The list of changes is okay.

Yes, i am changing the folder for installation through the setup.exe GUI.
I made the changes to make GenerateInstallInfo = false. Now when i install it on my dev machine, the add-in appears. I will not be able to try it on our client machine until later today.
When installing it for all users of the machine, where should it put the registry keys? Currently with this install, it put the keys in: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\ARCSOutlookAddIn.AddinModule is that correct, or should it have put the keys under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE? When i register it using Visual Studio (Add-In Express->Register), it puts the keys in HKLM. |

Hello Chris,
Registering from VS is a special case: the keys are created in HKLM to let you debug the add-in with administrative privileges.
When you register a per-machine add-in, it creates it keys in HKLM; a per user add-in writes to HKCU. Still, a per-machine add-in creates a key in HKCU when the user loads it; the key HKLM\Software\Mirosoft\Office\{an Office application}\Addins\{your add-in GUId} containing the FriendlyName, Description and CommandLineSafe values is the one created when you register the add-in.
